*This is a character idea that I am 100% stealing from one of my irl friends. The concept won't be instantly apparent, but I think it's cool. Once you find out what it is.*
A hulking figure can be seen marching towards the tavern with a purposeful air about him.
As he gets closer, it's apparent that he's some kind of copper dragonborn. A dark, plain, sweeping cloak obscures most of his body. His eyes are a slightly glowy pale blue, shining with mysterious energy. He is about 30 feet from the tavern front doors.
Brook sees him and stops his practicing, putting the blade back in his cane and walks over to them with a wide skeletal smile, waving at them all the way as friendly as they can.
The dragonborn stops once they reach each other. He looks the skeleton up and down. "You dead too?"
Wanna have Brook make a Perception check? Or possibly Arcana.
*He probably doesn’t care to look into it. I’m good*
“Dead as anyone can be. How about you friend?” He says in a friendly voice.
*kk*
He nods, pressing his scaly lips together. "Mhm, I'm dead. Well, ya know, undead or brought back or whatever you wanna call it, I'm sure you know all about that so I won't bore you. You local around here?"
“Nope, just got here myself only a few days prior to your own arrival. What ya name newcomer or do ya not got one?” He says with a smile, tapping his cane against the Dragonborn’s chest.
The cane makes a dull thumping sound against his chest, like it was striking mossy wood. "...Copper." He is one hundred percent lying, quite blatantly, but doesn't seem ready to divulge his real name. "And you?"
He laughs at the obvious lie and decides to play along “My name is Skeleton bone face. A pleasure.” He at him, wide and full of glee as says he says his own lie “Is your body made of metal my friend? Hollow on the inside?”

He raises an eyebrow. "Well uh, no. Sort of. My scales are copper..." says Copper. "Actually, now that I think about it, I might be missing some organs so it could be hollow for all I know. I am what they call a reborn. I was brought back some amount of months after my death, so my body isn't what it once was."

“Hmm now are you going to tell me your real name any time soon? Because I’m pretty sure if we can’t trust you and you can’t trust us, you’ll have to leave the hard way. Not a threat, just a promise.” He taps the cane against his chest and begins walking into the bar.

"But telling you could put me and possibly you and others into additional unnecessary danger! Why would I risk such a thing for a fellow as fine as you?" He follows him inside promptly.

“Because all of us can handle ourselves as much as you can, and I’d say it’s better to have a giant hog’s worth of allies to help you if something does come.” He walks over to the piano and begins to play.

"Alright, fair. I've just been trained in my profession to work on cases alone, keep confidentiality, ya know?"
He presses his scaley lips together, exhaling through his reptilian snout. "My name is Toma, in addition to Copper. I have made the name Copper my public name. However, I am now trusting you with that name, it is very important to me. Since you know my name, shall I reveal my purpose of being here?"

He plays the piano, much better than anything they’ve ever heard, he leans back, his skeletal back cracking as he looks at them with an eyeless skull “My name is Brook, I am a skeleton musician I’ve lived for roughly over one hundred fifty years. Fifty of those completely alone.” There is a strange silence in his words, a lack of warmth at the end.
"Alone. I'm going to assume you didn't enjoy it, so I'm sorry to hear you had to experience that. Thanks for sharing that with me Brook." He squats his large body low to the floor, holding the squat comfortably. "My current existence is entirely brought about because of revenge. Or justice. Whatever you'd like to call it. Sometimes I question it all though."

“Revenge is never what anyone says it is, justice is better, although it can end up the same. It all matters on intentions. I learned that the hard way, so you shouldn’t have to.” The song on the piano turns solemn, the melody growing slower.

He chuckles “No need to apologize to an old man like me. I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs, a change in conversation ain’t that bad.” When he asks about the piano he nods “Took me years to get it right, and I’m pretty fine at the violin too.”

"Lovely. Music has a way of influencing a person to feel almost anything, always thought it was a cool tool." He stands back up, stretching his arms and popping his back. "Well, got a question. You know the owner of this place? Where they are or anything?"

"I see. And yes... I have many distinct memories of my past life where my sweet mother would play the family lute as I worked on solving cases. It always calmed and refreshed my mind."

Over the past week, Hog and his inhabitants crept closer and closer to the plateau that Buttons and Red suppose is housing the second Titan Being.
Today was different though. The plateau was only two miles away, but just as Hog closing in on it, everything shuddered to a stop. Hog’s motion stopped more abruptly than ever before. Gears creaked, metal scraped, wires groaned, and Hog’s legs ground to a stop.
According to Newton’s First Law, an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Although not discovered yet, that is exactly what happened to the inhabitants of Hog’s town (Which I will be holding a petition to name). Chairs were flung, old houses were toppled, and people were knocked to the ground and even blown to the side. Buttons and Red both yelped as they were shot across the bar and slammed into the wall. This forceful form of physics is nearly impossible to resist completely, which ended up in the whole town being flung slightly towards the head of Hog.

My name’s Gradius, this is my second account :P I love Hollow Knight and I have been on ddb for a while. Come rp with me anytime! It is my purpose. My title that was given to me by Drummer is…SPIRIT OF THE WEST, GUARDIAN OF THE HOLLOWS.
No cost too great. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void.
Silver is thrown into the wall, nearly being entirely embedded into the wall with a grunt. “Looks like we’re here then.”
Buttons stands up and fits his hat back on. “S’pose so. ‘Bout time.”
Red just groans, as his head was hit pretty hard. He’ll probably be out for a while.
